Hmmm...It does look kinda reddish in that one pic. I put one of these on mine, but painted it black. I don't know if its a push button or what. I just cut a square piece of fiberglass from a leftover hunk i had lying around and glued it on. If I had to guess though, I would say that its actually molded into the gauntlet shell, then painted.

Edit: Actually, now that I looked at it again...on the prepro it does look more like a push button of some kind, but looks molded on the ESB gaunt...go figure
Heres how mine looks

The dent on the ROTJ gaunt could just be a place holder for the cutout where the push button was to be attached. I know there were a number of things built into the suit that were never used. If the push button was never used, then maybe it was never added to the Jedi gauntlets.

I was talking to JFJ last night on PM and suggested the idea of it being a button from an old adding machine similar to this one. The buttons have that convex outer shape with the concave depression for the button.

Yeah..I think so too. Do you guys see any difference between the prepro & ESB though??? They still look a bit different to me. Maybe my eyes are going bad, but I'm not seeing the convex (or is it concave ) signs on the ESB. Also, the esb looks like it is not as wide as the prepro. Also, the outside egdes look pretty strait on the ESB, while a bit rounded on the prepro. Maybe I'm way over-annalyzing
